A NEW charity shop is landing on an industrial estate in Stratford.
Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA) is opening a home store on the Maybrook Industrial Estate in November.
The shop is moving from smaller premises in Greenhill Street to the former site of Stratford Topps Tiles and will raise vital funds for the life-saving service.
The Maybrook Industrial Estate store is undergoing a substantial transformation over the next few weeks to turn it into a home store which will sell both new and pre-loved homeware, furniture, clothing, electricals, living and brand-new white goods.
Hannah Coventry, Head of Retail for the charity, said: “The continued support of our boutique store and the success of this new store is vital as the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance receives no government funding and relies solely on donations from the public and retail income to keep saving lives.
“Shopping in a charity shop is experience shopping. Customers love the thrill of not knowing what they will find, and we want to make that experience last longer by offering a wider choice with our new home store within a fantastic, safe and friendly environment.”
Work is currently underway to get the store ready for the opening on November 24 where local jobs have been created as well as volunteering opportunities for anyone wishing to help out.
This store opening adds to the charity’s portfolio of shops and comes before the momentous milestone of the WNAA celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023.
